Published in 1911, Dreiser's bittersweet novel follows his long-suffering protagonist, Jennie Gerhardt, in her efforts to find love and forge a meaningful life. This proves to be difficult in a society quick to judge poverty as a moral failing, a theme that remains relevant today, nearly a century after it was written.
